SAMUEL B.
ROBINSON was born at Washington,
Pennsylvania, Feb. 15, 1814, and was educated at
Washington, now Washington and Jefferson, College of
that State. In 1835 he was editor of the
Washington Reporter. In 1836, with his
widowed mother and her family, he moved to Lake
Shute, and shortly thereafter to Beverly, Ohio.
In 1837, at Beverly, in partnership with John
Dodge, he engaged in mercantile business and
continued therein for seven years. He studied
law, on. Isaac Paine being his preceptor, and
was admitted to the bar in 1844, and entered upon
the practice of his profession in Beverly. In
1846 he married Colina N. Dodge, youngest
daughter of John Dodge, of Beverly.
In 1846 he was elected prosecuting attorney of the
county. In 1873 he was again elected
prosecuting attorney, and the duties of this office
he ably and faithfully discharged. Mr.
Robinson was never of robust frame and during
the latter period of his life was in very poor
health. On the night of Jan. 2, 1878, while
traveling by steamer from Beverly to Marietta, he
fell overboard and was drowned. His body was
recovered and buried by the side of his deceased
wife in Beverly cemetery. During his career in
life as editor, merchant, and lawyer, Mr.
Robinson deserved and received the confidence
and esteem of his fellow-citizens.
